Extended family Thanksgiving dinner, pretty low-key, game on the television for the guys. Dip, chips, crudite, and some little pastry things. Several gray-haired aunts and great-aunts sipping tea in the dining room.
Then we are in the twilight zone, and one of the great aunts says she thinks her uterus is falling out after a minor surgery, and could I please check, as I'm the only one in the room who doesn't need glasses.
And they just keep sipping tea and nodding at me expectantly.

I did lock the door! He was supposed to come over a few times to take care of the cat. Never again!
Haha! That reminds of that episode of the Office when Pam goes into labor and asks Dwight to go to her house to get her iPod...and he finds "mold" in the cabinets and completely demolishes their kitchen and sleeps in their bed naked. Haha. Anyone?!

Hilarious!

MIL has no filter and surprise, no friends.
Back With another one, this time my own mother.
DH and I had a relatively small wedding, maybe 75 guests and an even smaller rehearsal dinner, just a few out of town relatives and close friends. IL's hosted the dinner (traditional to do so) and naturally, asked us to come up with a guest list help with guest list. Great, simple, easy.
So, night before our wedding in tiny, quaint little restaurant, imagine my surprise when there seemed to be chaos...waiters moving tables, bringing out entire place settings and chairs. My own mother dissolved into tears the prior night, suddenly realizing that she had a small family of origin (duh...) and that "her family" wasn't adequately represented at the rehearsal dinner , so she went ahead and invited two couples, friends of hers, to make things "more even." No checking in with my ILs, no checking with me, the bride, no call ahead to the restaurant. Thinking about this 15 years later and it makes me angry all over again. Thanks, Mom.
Ugh, pp. This is one of the many reasons I didn't have my wedding in my hometown. *cringing at the thought*

My mother wrote in my sister's BABY BOOK where and when my sister was conceived and why exactly she was absolutely sure of the timing and location of conception. In her defense, her own MIL had given her the same run down of where and when each of HER children were conceived, including my father.
Please god give me a better filter with my own children and their spouses.
Your wish has been granted, my child.

OMG. Third one -- ok, this could happen to anyone if they forgot what was in the boxes. Second one -- ugh but pretty typical of DCUM no-boundary stories. First one -- so awful and gross on so many levels!

This just happened 3 weeks ago. DH and I were at his grandparents home for the weekend. They were having a party for his brother on one of the days we were there. So anyway, Dh's aunt lives on the same block as his parents and she comes over to the house often. She is a really funny and generally cool lady but I don't think she has boundaries! DH and I were in the bedroom with the door closed and she knocked and said "Are ya decent?" and DH said "no, out in a minute" and she opened the door and came in. She didn't see anything too graphic, but let's say she killed the mood. I love her to death, but she doesn't respect privacy!
You we having sex at grandparents home? Are you an animal? You can't skip a few days? Eww

I am just laughing helplessly. omg!
What color? What did you say/do? I would make him pay for a professional to paint over it.
A really fugly green. I was angry but let my spouse handle it. It got repainted quickly (but on our dime).
